Alot of cars don't come with a rear wiper as standard. My Derby hasn't got one.

thats one think I've always found strange.... cars with a vretical back windscreen mostly have a rear wiper, but the water would just run off it anyway. and cars with slanted/not so vertical windscreens dont have a rear wiper, despite the fact that the water doesnt run off so well. weird..

its to do with air flow over the car

So if I went home and took the rear wiper off, it would fail or I would have to get out and clean it (I like to think I can rally it lol)

as far as i know the tyre tread has to stay inside the arch, but the alloys can stick out as far as the outer edge of the mirror

rear wipers arent a must for MOTs, sounds like the guy was just being a prick

mot and the law are 2 differnt things
